Formally known as Sir Puttanna Chetty Town Hall, the building is named after the first president of the Bangalore municipality. The neoclassical building was the brainchild of Sir Mirza Ismail, once the Diwan of Mysore, who also designed the famous Brindavan Gardens in Mysore. Located close to KR Market, you stop by the flight of stairs that lead up to graceful pillars, topped by a triangular pediment. You can also spot large balconies at the side and elegant arched doorways. There’s no entrance fee here but come on a day when the traffic is low so that you can look at it in peace.
